The reason you're paying that $200/month certainly has nothing to do with the CEO's $80 million (Govt. to get $30 million of it at least).
But when Comcast pays $45.2 billion for 11.4 million subscribers (almost 4K/subscriber) that $80 million or 2 tenths of 1% is chump change. And Comcast is relying you and everyone else to stay around 2 years to make a profit.
